Promising the developers with the facility of distributed collaborative development for complex simulation applications, HLA (High Level Architecture) provides a baseline supporting the reuse of capabilities available in different simulations with a significant reduction in cost and time. Along with improved execution process and reusability, the induction of object oriented model in the implementation design of HLA also enable to take the advantage of latest object oriented features making design, implementation and maintainability easier and at each level of federate development and execution. The important areas to be addressed for design reconsideration consists of data exchange model and HLA communication layer. The data exchange model comprises of federates in federation and between runtime infrastructure and federation. The Federate Object Model (FOM) architecture is not completely object oriented, the induction of Object Service Tier (OST) middleware may offer a degree of FOM agility which is the ability of an application to adjust according to different FOMs (behaviors for Federates). Whereas, in HLA communication layer, customary HLA systems are based upon bidirectional call/callback interactions between federate. Several enhancements and changes anticipated in object oriented communication layer (OOP-COMM) introduced in Object Service Tier (OST) as compared to native procedures, such as communication mechanisms, data encoding, session handling, distributed environment and performance analysis. The motivation behind the use of core object oriented modeling features and proposed Object Service Tier (OST) middleware is the reuse of legacy systems, features which may further enhance the integration of distributed simulation systems and extension types. So, this paper provides a multidimensional analysis of important design aspects of Object Service Tier (OST) middleware in HLA framework and devises some design constructs of Object Service Tier (OST) using object oriented model. This paper is intended to propose object-oriented model providing generalization through the Object Service Tier (OST) middleware in HLA framework for the distributed simulation system environment.
